Updates!!

Hi, suddenly i just feel like popping here to drop some updates.

Well, since i lost that 3 or 4kgs, i gained back about 1kg+. I guess some water weight and food weight that's in my body. I do pig out sometimes but i didn't gain back anything more.

I'm eating more vegetables. I am also eating some of the vegetables i never ever wanted to tried before. For example there's these 2 pieces of pickle? or i don't know what is it that's in a McDonald's Double Cheese Burger but i ate it all down today. Yea it's the first time i had McDonald's after i did the cleanse. Most of time if it's possible I'd cook my own food, i rather not eat outside.

When i thought of meat nowadays, i don't feel the urge to consume so much anymore and i even try to avoid or take in lesser if i can. One look at oily food makes me think twice or feel disgusted... Well, something that's really changed in me and I'm pretty happy with it.

It seemed so long ago after i ended my cleanse but surprisingly, it's only 27 days so far!! Feels like months, honestly!!

Post Cleanse Day 2

Omg i had bread today. 2 Hawaiian mini bun and a little bit of Doritos. I'm so guilty... BUT THEY TASTE SO GOOD!!

I prepared homemade sushi for dinner too. It's funnnn.

I used lots of Carrots, Cucumbers, Lettuces and little bit of eggs, crab sticks and tuna. I guess just a little bit of those won't kill. lol...

I ate quite a few pieces of sushi I'm not sure why i do not feel full. But my tummy is firm, unlike before the cleanse... I felt the difference. I think i lost some fats from my tummy.

So until today, i lost an inch off my chest, 2 inches off my waist, an inch off my hip and an inch off my thighs! I lost 3kg, might be 4kg? The stupid scale... But I'm positive i lost 3kg!

I also realised something... I seems able to sing slightly higher with my voice now. LOL

Overall i feel good!

My body is not rid of all toxins yet that's for sure. I think that's why i am not able to attain glowing skin and shining hair nor a clear Pink tongue. My face have these little breakouts... I think my period is coming too cos i'm experiencing slight backache again. Most women experience early period than usual when they're on the cleanse. I might be one of them.

I think i will be back for another Cleanse in November or December.

Post Cleanse Day 1

So i ended my cleanse yesterday. My last day was a breeze. I was already thinking of preparing my Veggie Soup and drinking it. I was high spirited too.

For today, I skipped the Orange Juice and had Veggie Soup straight away. I never like Orange Juice anyway, haha...

My recipe for Veggie Soup:

Corns (Chop it) I never knew corns are so hard to chop!
Onions
Carrots
Potatoes
Tomatoes
White Cabbage
Mushrooms
Bean Sprouts
Tofu...
and Water

Salt (to taste)


Method:
1. Peel and chop everything that's needed to.
2. Start by boiling Water in a big Wok? or whatever you call it.
3. When water starts to boil, add in Corns and Carrots and the stem part of the White Cabbage (they took longer time to turn soft). These are some of the ingredients that are "Sweet" and they doesn't mushed up even after long time of boiling. At this point i added Onions too cos i think Onions have stronger taste and i prefer to eat them when i can't really see or eat them cos they became like thin and transparent after long boiling. lol
4. When you start smelling corns' fragrance and when Carrots turns soft, throw in Potatoes, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Tofu and the rest of White Cabbage. Keep boiling...
5. Test the softness of Potatoes. Keep boiling until Potatoes turned soft but before it turns too soft that when you touch it they disperse everywhere in the soup.
6. Throw in Bean Sprouts for quick boil if you like it crunchy. (Beware: The smell is really strong!)
7. Add in Salt and taste. You will realised just a little amount is enough cos the Soup itself is SWEET. Also, learn to enjoy the natural flavor of the vegetables.

Lastly, when my Soup is done, i realised i had more Vegetables that the soup itself. haha... By the way i took about a hour to finish cooking it. And is it Paradise in a Bowl?? Veggie Soup never taste so good before!!

Note: Prepare a big amount cos you get hungry easily by just eating the Veggie Soup. I had several bowls throughout. You can do leftover and have some for next day too. Just refrigerate the whole thing and boil it up the next day.

By right, you're not supposed to eat those Vegetables in the soup for your Day 1 after breaking the fast. I ate them anyway. I didn't experienced nauseousness or stomach upset so I'm fine with eating on first day of Post Cleanse. Everybody's body differs. I try to avoid meat however.

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 17

It's the 1st day of my new job. Such a boring job omg... My manager wants to have lunch with me but i told her i can't eat. So we will be going to eat next week. I wonder can i find anything healthy to eat outside? You know how much MSG and salt and oil they use in foods out there... I don't wanna punish my freshly cleanse body by feeding it toxins again.

Now that i am on Day 17 i have started thinking about eating healthily, meaning more fruits and seeds and vegetables and less meat, salt and sugar. Might wanna cut down on bread too. I'm also learning to watch my calorie intake. I bought several packet of seeds and raisins and sugar free cookie. Can't wait to eat them!!!!

Lemonade for the breakfast is good too. But I'm craving for KFC's newly launched breakfast range!! lolll... I'm gonna use the lemonade as meal replacement whenever possible too. Especially dinner time.

Anyway a side note is i still left about 2 full bottle of maple syrup on Day 17!! That's amazing. I always thought i wouldn't have enough to even pass 14 days. However, I'm still disappointed that I'm not losing more weight (rapidly) cos that's my main purpose in doing this cleanse.
But i honestly feel good!

My mum says my face became smaller, and my ass and thighs shrink-ed. I can feel it myself from my jeans and shirts cos they're looser. I feel like keeping up with the cleanse for maybe another week to continue losing more weigh but my manager wants to eat with me and i think it's not nice to reject her twice... So most likely it will be my last day tomorrow.... i don't bear to though. oooh

I know it cos ulcers are starting to spawn in my mouth, it's a sign there's still toxins in my body and they're coming out!!

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 15

On Day 13 night i made a decision to end the fast while lying on the bed at night. Reason being i wanna eat so much!! I made up my mind to start drinking Orange Juice the very next morning and Yong Tau Hu soup for lunch. I also dreamt of gorging fried dumplings without feeling guilty. LOL

So the next morning, while on our way to Silver Summit Asia, i told my brother i am going to break the fast. He points at me and said I'm a LOSER. A L.O.S.E.R.
Cos there's once i said to him i might be going for 28 days. He said i should finish what i started and blah blah blah so here i am on Day 15 and feeling good again. hahaha...

I realised it's actually an obstacle.. to break the fast cos i wanna eat. I think what happened to me that night was heavy and extreme cravings. Lucky i have my brother or else i wouldn't be here typing this entry today!

On the side note, I lost a total of 2kg? or 3kg so far. I really don't trust the scale. Once i step up it's this weigh another time i step up it's a pound less or more. So frustrating. However, i am able to fit into a pair of jeans i find it really tight 15 days ago! Clothing wise i am able to button a shirt that i can't button it up before. My tummy wasn't that bulgy anymore. haha... I think drinking more water helps. I increased my drinking water to more than 2 liters a day now.

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 13

Was on the verge of giving up last night. I guess it was the toughest day of my cleanse so far. My swollen tongue turns out to be an ulcer i swear it's killing me. I can't talk cos the slightest movement i made triggers the pain. Even drinking water hurts like hell! I was lying quietly on the bed and wanna cry so badly. Not to say, the lemonade sucks when there's pain in my mouth, I'm so sick of it...



Also, not doing the SWF makes me feels really sluggish. That's not nice. I have to skip it again tomorrow cos I'm going to the Silver Summit Asia which is early morning and i don't think I'm able to get up earlier to get the SWF done.

I have been thinking about food all day long. I think about sandwiches and Char Kway Tiao that i had a hard time falling asleep these few days. Omg... But this morning, i woke up fresh again. My ulcer didn't hurt as badly like yesterday. I have this powdery medicine that helps ulcer but I'm not sure should i use it cos I'll be eating it all down anyway, so i chose not to use it. Ouch!

When I'm out to get more supplies of lemons today, i thought of getting limes cos somebody in the forum advised using limes when you're sick of lemons. So in NTUC, i saw the labels written AUST Big Limes $0.69/100g and i thought "Hey, that's cheap' and i took 6, went to the counter to weigh it and the scale displayed $4.95!! Wow, with this price i can get 15 lemons...

However, for today's lemonade i used 1 tablespoon of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and it taste not bad. At least, something new for my taste buds...

Anyway, i have started cutting the maple syrup from 2 tablespoons to 1-1.5 tablespoons and i drink about 5 glasses each day cos by the end of day when I'm sleepy, i still had another glass to go but i chose sleeping time instead. XD

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 11

I went out for like 3 hours and spent a whole one hour walking around to explore the place and looking for a bus stop to go home. I felt like i almost died. First thing was the weather is to kill for..... Secondly, I had a glass of lemonade before i went out, I brought extra lemonade along too but i can't find a proper place to drink it. So I'm like really hungry and i though i can't walk anymore or pass out. Luckily i saw the MRT and reached home to drink the lemonade and lots of water...

My ulcer is not painful anymore and it's healing. But the swollen tongue is bad that i felt like biting it off. ARGH!

My face wise, i had these little breakouts.

My jaw hurts too. Could it be lack of Doritos... i need to bite something. hahaha

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 10

Day 10!

Tummy ache is back for today. I have decided to skip the SWF for today, well, i don't think i need it. And tomorrow too cos i will be going out for a short while.

Good news is I lost another kg today and i feel my overall has gotten smaller, although might be psychological again but I'm happy! Finally i am shrinking. It's doesn't make sense however, I have been living on no food except lemonade for 9 days, can't possibly be i lost not a single lbs? Somebody said my body went into conservation mode faster than others.

Anyway, shooting for 20 days~

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 8, 9

Happy to woke up these 2 days cos i did not have tummy ache. Could it be my body got immunized to the lax tea???

By today i am a little sick of the lemonade. I have a partial sore tongue and an ulcer that when i open my mouth i felt pain. Maybe this might be the reason for loss of appetite and cravings.

Anyway, I ate Bee Hoon, Noodles and Stew Pork in my dream last night but they don't taste nice at all. LOL

Actually i did noticed i lose a kg since like 2 days ago? I felt my breast has gotten smaller. Maybe it's psychological but that's the last thing i want............ T_T

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 7

The unhealthy but really addictive chips in the provision shop. :p

Normal day. It's so nice to sleep nowadays that i had a hard time getting up. I helped my mum prepare dinner tonight. Veggies with mushrooms and Steam Salmon. Smells good but i didn't craves. It's true that all cravings passes out with your elimination the next day.





As usual, nothing special to report, except that i woke up with a slight sore throat, cough and a little cut inside my mouth? Or is it an ulcer? I'm not sure.

But I'm really disappointed with my weigh loss. I'm not getting any............. It's Day 7!

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 5

Is it the weather or one of the symptoms? It's raining for the past few days but I'm feeling kinda cold today.

And my cravings are gone the moment i woke up. My brother was eating his leftover Nachos but i didn't even look at it.

Also, does it seems like time passes so slowly while on the cleanse? It's like time practically stands still. Can't even imagine how is it for the others doing their cleanse while working in the office. I'm lucky to be doing this with the luxury of staying home before my new job starts on April Fool's Day. I'm thinking how to prepare and bring my lemonade to the office, with separate Cayenne Pepper... Oh did i mention i am intending to go beyond 14 days? It's still early to say so but i think i might.

Anyway, it's already Day 5. My mother can't believe i have been going without food for 5 days. She kept asking did i eat anything whenever she calls. My brother sometimes teases me and said i cheated because he sees me licking my lips.

Hey! It's just Maple Syrup... Every single time i pour out the Maple Syrup I'd LOVE to lick the remaining syrup off the spoon it tastes really good and I'm always smiling like a kid doing it. Honestly, I've never tasted Maple Syrup until i started the Master Cleanse. Never knew it's so delicious!


You know i bought those 16 fl oz/473ml per bottle of Maple Syrup, which from my calculations i should be using 180ml/day so a bottle would only last me for 2 days and 4 cups. But weirdly it's midday of Day 5 and i haven even finish a bottle. Did i do my measurements wrongly?

Since i had:
3 and 4 glasses for Day 1 and 2 = 210ml.
6 and 6 glasses for Day 3 and 4 = 360ml.
up to point of typing it's 4 glasses for Day 5 = 120ml.

so 473ml - 210ml - 360ml - 120ml = -217ml (?!!?)

I still have leftover in the bottle. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 4

The pain on my tummy hits like a hammer this morning, but i felt instant relieve after i poo-ed everything out.

At night, cravings for all kinds of unhealthy food struck upon me, not too badly. My brother bought a pack of Nachos chips and eats in front of me. He's so cruel... It smells SO Gooooood!! I buried my face into the chip bag and savor it's fragrance but i didn't eat a single piece. I'm 100% confident that i won't put a single food into my mouth. I don't know where that confidence came from, LOL but it's the cravings.... It come and go. So annoying! Then my brother took the bag away from me and says "don't smell it or you'll eat it." It's kind of a support for me. X(

I'm still not losing weight but i read in some others' cases, one's weight was stagnant for the first 10 days and she only started losing weight rapidly within her 2nd 10 days. Another started dropping 10 pounds within Friday to Monday after being stagnant for i forgot how long. This encouraged me to hang on and not give up.

Another thing was i started my Cleanse on the last day of my period. It might be water retention that affect my weight loss... I hope so.

I think, I'm not sure. Did i experience more energy because i can't seem to sleep early? Instead i watched "Catch Me If You Can" and finally went to sleep at 3.20am. The film was 2 and 2/3 hours long...

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 3

I just read somewhere that says you need to take in about 3 and a half lemons and 140ml of Maple Syrup a day. That makes up to barely 5 glasses if you based on the 140ml of maple syrup as you need 30ml for each glass of lemonade. But if you based on 3 and a half lemons, there are 315ml of juice (i measured there are 3 tablespoons/45ml of juice in half a lemon) which is 10 and a half glasses! I just did the maths while typing this, realising it's confusing. The proportion of lemon juice and maple syrup is suppose to be the same in a glass of lemonade. (2 Tablespoons each) So how's that suppose to be 3 and a half lemon and 140ml of maple syrup for a day?

I'll make sure i have at least 6 glasses of lemonade a day, just to be safe, I'll follow the book's instructions. I've been going everywhere with my phone, keep looking at the time and making notes with it so I'd transfer everything here.

This morning I woke up at 5:45am and felt my tummy aching. That kind that tells you need to go to the loo fairly soon. I hate that feeling!!

Here's a trick i discovered: Use a stronger taste mint toothpaste to brush your teeth in the morning directly BEFORE you do your SWF. I don't know how are you gonna find out which brand of toothpaste has stronger mint taste but, while brushing, use your tongue to "lick" the bubbled toothpaste and let it "soak" for awhile. You'll find the Salt Water taste milder and easier to gulp them down... At least for me.

I've been using Pearl's Drop toothpaste for about 3 months now and it doesn't come with a strong mint, really light. So when i used Darlie, i find it really strong for me.

Anyway, saw my tongue started coating from yesterday. It's yellow/cheezy. hmm... Is it because of the lemonade?? The tongue coating is one of the Detox Symptoms for the cleanse. And i felt really thirsty today. Also, i have not loss a single pound which is worrisome. What if the cleanse does not work for Asians?? I thought so because i assume most of us do not do the S.A.D (Standard American Diet). Or is it because I'm having too little lemonade?? I'm really worried. I have asked in the forum, just have to wait for some experts to reply.


Update: They say I'm drinking too little lemonade. I'll make sure i have enough from today onwards!!

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 2

My eyes are big and they're looking around from 8:45am onwards. I felt energetic... Flipped around my bed but couldn't fell back asleep. I guess I'm not used to waking up so early. So i went to do my SWF. The quart of salt water is still so much to drink. it's about 950ml...

My brother tasted my salt water and says it sucked. LOL

Anyway, SWF today was pretty intense as compared to yesterday.

Still I don't feel really hungry, but i already had 2 glasses by 3pm.

I realised the longer the Cayenne Pepper sits in the lemonade, the hotter it gets. You know you can actually felt it burning in the tummy. I felt HOTTT........ I think i put in a lot more Cayenne Pepper today. It's not difficult to swallow it down anyway. The after taste is supposed to have a slight burning effect on the throat.

And.... I dreamt of Egg Tarts last night... hahaha

I had cravings tonight too. My mum cooked steak and veggies during dinner time. zzzz... I was already thinking what am i going to eat after I'm done with the cleanse.

By end of day i only had 4 glasses of lemonade. Really weird. I read there are many who couldn't even get through day 1 or 2 but it's a breeze to me. Actually i think it's because I've already prepared myself mentally for about 3 months before i start this cleanse...

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 1

I woke up at 11.44am today. Washed up and the Smooth Move steps in a little, i felt a little tummy ache but it's alright, follow by a bowel movement.

Done preparing my Salt Water Flush at about 12.15pm, finished drinking it at 12.29pm. It's not that bad unlike what i read in forums. But a quart is so much to drink. I need to rest a minute or two in between to continue drinking. I burps a lot cos I'm bloated. lol

Tip: "Lie down on your right side for half an hour. This is done to ensure that the salt moves from the stomach to the small intestine. The opening to the intestine is located on the right side of your stomach." - eHow.

I can feel some bubbling in my stomach. It's weird. I'm not hungry yet. I'm a little excited, or should i say worried about what I'm about to experience...

1:17pm (about 50 minutes later), SWF kicked in. It's simple and easy, no pain. It's really what they called the "butt pee". lol... But it's not so serious, seems like I'm able to control when to "release". Maybe because i was watching Ninja Assasin, it's exciting so i waited to go. hahaha...
Anyway, the "butt pee" smells like salt water, only more pungent... not to mention the colour of it. yucks!! Imagine cleaning my entire digestive tract for the first time in almost 21 years. Gross.

1:42pm I had another flush.
I started feeling hungry for the day.
I only have enough supplies for 6 glasses of lemonade a day for 14 days, so i have to watch the number of glasses I'm drinking.

I intend to do a minimum of 14 days. But it all depends on how my body feels. I saw ppl who did it for 20, 28, 32 and up to 40 days, it sets me thinking that 14 days are not enough. But like i said, it depends on how i feel. We'll see.

Had my 1st lemonade at 3.46pm. It taste really nice. The maple syrup is sooooo yummy!! I measured half a lemon has got 3 tablespoons of juice that much. I still use them all for a glass though.

Tip: "... drink at least one ounce of water OR lemonade for every 2 pound of body weight. If you weigh 200 that would be 100 oz total. The 32 oz. SWF doesn't count." - The Master Cleanse Forum

Yea you need to drink lots and lots of water during the cleanse to prevent your body from dehydration. It's a secret to weight loss.

My mum came home with a packet of Sugar Coated Peanuts... I feel like popping some in my mouth and starts chewing but i didn't. She's even cooking steak tonight. Oh my!

Surprisingly, it's 7:15pm now and i only had a glass of lemonade till now. I'm not really hungry. Maybe I'm already used to going long hours without food? I'll have another cup now since i believe my body need all the nutrients for the cleanse.

Another glass at 9.50pm. I get the hot feeling of Cayenne Pepper in my throat but I'm not sure if it's enough...

Ended my day with a cup of Smooth Move lax tea at about 11pm.

Where to buy Master Cleanse Ingredients in Singapore?

Finally... I found and bought all the ingredients i need. My tap fixed, and Water Treatment System UP.


1. Organic Grade B Maple Syrup. SOOOOOO TOUGH to find in Singapore... I failed at Carrefour, NTUC, Orchard Paragon The Marketplace and Vivo City! Instead, i found a local organic store which they provide online purchasing and free delivery if you spent a certain amount of money. Yes, they import Coombs Family Farms's maple syrup. Best thing is they are really fast and they handle cash. Convenient for ppl without credit cards.
Price at SGD32 per 16oz/473ml. You need at least 6 bottles for about 15 days cleanse. So do your maths, you know it's not cheap. haha...


Anyway, comes in cute little bottles like this:


That's a regular Ikea mug.


See, 100% PURE, GRADE B.


2. Celtic Sea Salt (Coarse). I happened to see it yesterday when I'm at Johor Bahru's NTUC Fairprice! Singapore's don't even have any! They say this particular brand taste mild and is easier for the Salt-Water-Flush. I bought a packet, 400g at RM10+.




Here, look closely and remember, Celtic Sea Salt is supposed to be Light Grey, not white.

Btw, the site that i bought Maple Syrup from does sell Celtic sea salt (fine), but I'm not using it since i got the original one from JB. Also, it doesn't comes in like the original packet in the pictures above. Just a normal plastic with some information n details of the Salt, from Australia, 500g for SGD2.80.




3. MasterFoods Cayenne Pepper. SGD3/4+. I couldn't remember exact price. Can be found at NTUC etc.




4. Smooth Move Laxative Tea. Bought from Plaza Singapura, Shop's name is "Healthystars" #B2-04. SGD11.




5. Peppermint Tea. Price ranges. Can be easily found. I bought this 20 sachet for SGD4.50. The mint tea is to be used to ease headaches if you suffer from during the cleanse. No paracetamols or whatever pills can be taken. They say mint tea works wonder. It helps in improving your lemonade breathe, also helps from the slimy and white tongue coating feel during cleanse.




6. Lastly, of course it's Lemons. Practically it's everywhere. I bought mine at 3 for SGD1.

So, last thing of the day, a sachet of Smooth Move lax tea. =p

Information and Recipe for Master Cleanse

THE MASTER CLEANSE OR LEMONADE DIET

Purpose:
To dissolve and eliminate toxins and congestion that have formed in any part of the body.
To cleanse the kidneys and the digestive system.
To purify the glands and cells throughout the entire body.
To eliminate all unusable waste and hardened material in the joints and muscles.
To relieve pressure and irritation in the nerves, arteries, and blood vessels.
To build a healthy blood stream.
To keep youth and elasticity regardless of our years.

WHEN TO USE IT?
When sickness has developed—for all acute and chronic conditions.
When the digestive system needs a rest and a cleansing.
When overweight has become a problem.
When better assimilation and building of body tissue is needed.

AND HOW OFTEN?
Follow the diet for a minimum of 10 days or more—up to 40 days and beyond may be safely followed for extremely serious cases. The diet has all the nutrition needed during this time. Three to four times a year will do wonders for keeping the body in a normal healthy conditions. The diet may be undertaken more frequently for serious conditions.

HOW TO MAKE IT?
2 Tablespoons lemon or lime juice (approx. ½ lemon)
2 Tablespoons genuine maple syrup (Not maple flavored sugar syrup)
1/10 Teaspoon cayenne pepper (red pepper) or to taste
8 oz water, room temperature

Combine the juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a 10 oz glass jar w/lid and fill with the water. Shake it up and drink. (Cold water may be used if preferred.) Use fresh (organic) lemons or limes only, never canned lemon or lime juice nor frozen lemonade or frozen juice.

The maple syrup is a balanced form of positive and negative sugar and must be used, not some “substitute”. There are three grades of maple syrup.

Grade A is the first run—mild in taste, sweet and with less minerals than the other grades. It is more expensive and less desirable but it may be used.

Grade B is the second run with more minerals plus more maple taste. It is more suitable for the diet and is less expensive. Grade C is the third run with even more minerals and still stronger taste of maple and slightly less pleasant for most people, although acceptable in the diet. It is lower in price.

As Grade C is less expensive it can be used as an excellent sweetening agent in preparing foods. The strong maple flavor blends very well.

HOW MUCH DOES ONE DRINK?
Take from six to twelve glasses of the lemonade daily during the waking period. As you get hungry just have another glass of lemonade. NO OTHER FOOD SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING THE FULL PERIOD OF THE DIET. As this is a complete balance of minerals and vitamins, one does not suffer the pangs of hunger. Do not use vitamin pills. All solid food is turned into a liquid state before it can be carried by the blood to the cells of the body. The lemonade is already a food in liquid form.

For those who are overweight, less maple syrup may be taken. For those underweight, more maple syrup may be taken. For those who are underweight and worried about losing more weight, REMEMBER, the only things you can possible lose are mucus; waste, and disease. Healthy tissue will not be eliminated. Many people who need to gain weight actually do so
near the end of the diet period.

Never vary the amount of lemon juice per glass. About six glasses of lemonade a day is enough for those wishing to reduce. Extra water may be taken as desired.

HELPING THE CLEANSING ALONG
As this is a cleansing diet, the more you can assist Nature to eliminate poisons, the better. IF YOUR SYSTEM FEELS UPSET, IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT HAVING SUFFICIENT ELIMINATION. Avoid this possibility by following the directions completely. Above all, be sure you have two, three, or more movements a day. This may seem unnecessary not eating solid food, but it is Nature’s way of eliminating the waste it has loosened from the various cells and organs in the body. They must leave the body some way. It would be just the same as sweeping the floor around and around and never removing the dirt from the house if the wastes were not passed out. The better the elimination, the more rapid will be the results.

A LAXATIVE HERB TEA is found to be the best helper for most persons. It is a good practice to take a good laxative herb tea right from the beginning—the last thing at night and first thing in the morning. There are several good laxative teas. They are best taken in a liquid form. Buy them in your health food store.

ANOTHER CLEANSING AID: INTERNAL SALT WATER BATHING
As it is necessary to bathe the outside of our bodies, so it is with the inside. Do not take enemas or colonics at any time during the cleansing diet or afterwards. They are unnecessary and can be extremely harmful. There is a much superior method of cleansing the colonic tract without
the harmful effects of customary colonics and enemas. This method will cleanse the entire digestive tract while the colonics and enemas will only reach the colon or a small part of it. Colonics can be expensive while our salt water method is not.

DIRECTIONS: Prepare a full quart of luke-warm water and add two level (rounded for the Canadian quart) teaspoons of sea salt. Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach. The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system.

If the salt water does not work the first time, try adding a little more or a little less salt until the proper balance is found; or possible take extra water with or without salt. This often increases the activity. Remember, it can do no harm at any time. The colon needs a good washing, but do it the natural way—the salt water way.

It is quite advisable to take the herb laxative tea at night to loosen, then the salt water each morning to wash it out. If for some reason the salt water cannot be taken in the morning, then the herb laxative tea must be taken night and morning.
